The Expeditions: Viking crew are at Gamescom this week, and today they managed to grab a 15 minute slot on Twitch's broadcasting schedule. Presenting the game was Teemo Ashton, Logic Artists' community manager, a charismatic fellow who managed to handily dominate Twitch's obnoxious hosts. He had time to show about ten minutes of gameplay footage, while explaining the details of the game's historical background and describing some of its interesting features and quests. I'm particularly impressed by the ability to engage in non-lethal combat, with appropriately different quest outcomes, as well as the possibility to lose any battle and have the game go on, with appropriate consequences. Here's the archived stream:

I have to say, Expeditions: Viking looks better and better every time I see it. The Logic Artists have emerged somewhat unexpectedly as a potential top tier RPG developer, and more people ought to be paying attention. The game has a Steam page now, so update your wishlists.
